The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
